Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a VLA-4 inhibitory drug that has a novel cyclohexanecarboxylic acid skeleton and is orally administrable.BACKGROUND ART

[0002] Leukocyte is well known to play a critical role in inflammatory reactions that could be caused by microbial intrusion, the damaged tissue or the like. It is also known that leukocytes usually circulate in the blood vessel and, once the tissue is inflamed, leukocytes are infiltrated into the inflamed tissue by passing through the blood vessel wall adjacent to the such a tissue. This infiltration is found to be associated with the integrins expressed on the surface of a leukocyte cell.

[0003] An integrin is composed of a heterodimer of glycoprotein in which two noncovalently associated subunits (i.e., α-subunit and β-subunit) coalesce with each other. So far, at least 16 species are known to be included in the family of α-subunit, while at least 9 species are known to be included in the family of β-subunit, and...

4-[(4R)-hydroxy-(2S)-pyrrolidinylmethoxy]benzoic acid ethyl ester

[0401]

[0402]To a methanol solution (300 mL) of 4-[1-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-(4R)-hydroxy-(2S)-pyrrolidinylmethoxy]benzoic acid ethyl ester (25.5 g, 63.8 mmol), 106 palladium hydroxide / carbon (5.1 g) was added, and the mixture was stirred for 4 hours under a hydrogen stream at normal pressure. The reaction mixture was filtered to eliminate the catalyst, and then the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and dried, to obtain the title compound (17.9 g, 100%) as a solid.
